What is IPF? q IPF is a progressive, fatal lung disease with a variable and unpredictable clinical course and a median survival time of only 2– 3 years from diagnosis 1 Risk factors for IPF It affects more men than women and most patients are over 501 Cause of the condition is unknown (idiopathic) but some risk factors have been identified 2, 3 IPF prevalence is increasing Smoking, environmental exposures, abnormal acid reflux and family history of the disease 2, 3 1.

The burden of IPF q IPF is a “rare” disease: in EU a disease is considered a rare disease if it affects <5 in 10, 000 people across the EU IPF affects as many as 11. 5 people per 100, 0001 Europe ~85, 000* Germany ~9, 000* United Kingdom ~7, 300* France ~7, 600* *Estimate number of IPF patients based on global prevalence and current population per country 1.

A fibrotic disease Fibrosis of lung tissue causes loss of lung function 1, 2 Lungs lose their ability to take in and transfer oxygen into the bloodstream 3 Those with IPF experience shortness of breath, cough and often have difficulty with everyday physical activities 4 1.

Diagnosis • More than 80% of patients with IPF have a distinctive, Velcro-like crackle, easily detected through a stethoscope 2, 3, 4 • High resolution CT scan: honeycombing 1 • Lung biopsy (in some cases)1 Adapted from Meltzer & Noble Orphanet Journal of Rare Diseases 1.

Nintedanib in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis Mechanism of Action and Clinical Benefits
Nintedanib: A potent intracellular tyrosine kinase inhibitor Nintedanib is an indolinone derivative discovered from a chemical programme designed for receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors for the treatment of cancer. • Nintedanib targets the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) and fibroblast growth factor (FGF) receptors • Nintedanib acts by blocking the intracellular ATP binding site of the receptors and with it activation and signaling cascades mediated by these receptors Hilberg F, et al. Cancer Res 2008; 68: 4774– 4782; Wollin L, et al. J Pharmacol Exp Ther 2014; 349: 209– 220.
Nintedanib inhibits the activation of the signalling pathways involved in the pathogenesis of IPF Nintedanib inhibits proliferation and migration of fibroblasts, myofibroblasts with a reduction in the synthesis and deposition of extracellular matrix in the lung Hilberg F, et al. Cancer Res 2008; 68: 4774– 4782; Wollin L, et al. J Pharmacol Exp Ther 2014; 349: 209– 220.

INPULSIS® trials (2 phase III trials): 1 year 1066 patients Summary of efficacy findings from the INPULSIS® trials Nintedanib 150 mg bid is the first treatment for IPF that has consistently been shown to slow disease progression in all subgroup patients with IPF independently of the severity of lung function impairment by significantly reducing the annual decline in lung function by approximately 50% This clinically relevant effect of nintedanib on disease progression was supported by: • A significant reduction in the risk of adjudicated confirmed exacerbations of 68% in a pre-specified sensitivity analysis • • • A numerical reduction in all-cause mortality of 30% Consistent results across a range of lung function endpoints A manageable side-effect profile
Nintedanib a major contribution to patient care and a new therapeutic approach for IPF 18
